Day 7 - no sleep!!!
Even after 60mg Remeron, 200mg Amitriptyline and 1600mg Ibuprofen. Tossed and turned, had 2 more attacks - one aborted one didn't.
I'm losing track of time... not sure if it has been a total of 10 1/2 hours of sleep for 2 1/2 or 3 weeks now. My brain is mush, my head is ringing, my legs are losing functionability, blah blah fricken blah! Waiting for the neuro to call back (again.)
If there are two things I am sure of:
Clusters and insomnia FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had CH for 20 years and I've has insomnia but NEVER at the same time. It's got to be totally awful.
Sorry, I can't provide you with a good idea on how to get through this, Carl. I really really hope you find the right cocktail and get over this soon!
Hang in there!

I can't imagine all you are going through. My heart goes out to you. I pray that you get this figured out soon.
I do know about the ch/insomnia thing. It sucks to be sure.
Hang in there. Post when you can and keep us up on the situation. You know you can always call if you need to.

Sorry to hear your not getting any sleep. I know from my own personal experience that being tired and fatigued just adds to the beast's strength. I pray you find sleep and some PF time. Hang in there.

I did a little research for you and found a listing of local services that might be able to assist you.

I think Chestnut Health Systems might be in your part of town and possibly more accesable to you. |

First: {{{{{{CARL}}}}}}
Second: Don has a really good point.
We can support you here... we can listen and commiserate.... it sounds like you need someone right there with you to help you through this. Clusters and insomnia do suck..... you can and will make it through this - calling them for help just might make it easier.....

If they jerk you around about insurance or things like that let me know. My company pays me to get people into services so I knows a little.

Damnit Linda! You know how to get a guy all choked up don't you? 
I'm on day 8 of NO SLEEP! Trying everything I can to get some winks with no luck. It's like my brain wants to shut off but my body wakes it back up. My legs, back - hell, everything hurts right now. The only brightness was I only had 3 CH's in the last 24 hours (one right in the middle of dinner last night. Had to bail to my nieces room to 'shoot up'.) Other 2 didn't abort.
I feel like I am on lsd or something. Seeing shit move, I'm moving sitting still, and forgetting what I did 5 minutes ago. I'm watching my nephew right now who is slightly autistic, and he is funny. When I have muscle spasms, he tries to imitate it. If I don't get any sleep by Friday morning - I have to go to the hospital. 
Ever seen "Fight Club"? I think I am living in it! I feel beat all to hell. Except my hallucination is Bea Arthur as Dracula instead of Brad Pitt.
One thing I don't understand is how 25mg of Amitriptyline knocks most people for a loop, but 250mg isn't doing shit for me. Pain is keeping me awake I think.
Super frustrated!

Take it from a chronic insomiac that Amitriptyline made 'me' feel WIERD....and I could NOT sleep on it...."nonea" that stuff helped me sleep and made it worse.....instead of layin there with my mind raceing I laid there with a BLANK mind feelin tense. (I said blank mind not blonde mind) Too much advil makes me feel strange and hurts my stomach.....it'll make it bleed ! Aches and pains abound Pam
